You clearly had a set idea for this poem and followed through with it. It also helps that the contest kind of picked the topic for you! But you still clearly knew how you wanted to write this piece and it shows. Well done.

Originality: 4.5/5

I will never in a million years give a love based poem a full five stars, has nothing to do with your abilities. However, I gave more stars than I normally would here because it was a contest entry in which you had to write on such a topic, so I could not be as Critical of love poems as I usually am! Ha!

Technique: 4/5

I would have loved to see a bit more follow through with italics and a bit of bold lettering to make certain points pop a bit more. You used it well WHEN you used it, but I just don't think you used it quite enough!

Impact: 4.5/4

I was wavering between 4 and 4.5, and decided to go with the higher end here. I definitely felt a stirring of emotion from this poem but it didn't quite tug at my heart-strings as much as I wanted it to. INCLUDE ALL THE EMOTIONS!

Sorry, tiny bit hyper, just slammed a cup-a-joe!

Alas I digress, this was still a wonderful piece, you are definitely a poet that inspires me! I hope to see more from you, and I hope this piece wins the contest!

I honestly think you've written something which is truly inspiring, and tender in its emotional presentation. It seems personal, and comes out like a breeze. I, in all honesty, don't know how you can improve this work; I'll just accept it at face value, for all its worth.

It is indeed personal, and it was one of those poems that just... wrote itself. Normally, I put a lot more thought in to my poems but this one... I just wrote the first words that came into my head. I suppose that's why I wanted feedback on this one.

Oh! Thank you!!! There is this group on here that is having a contest and the theme is 'Unexpected Love' and the first thing I thought of was when I met Guy. At the time... I had just broken up with my BF of 2 years and I certainly wasn't looking for love but... well, I just couldn't help myself! LOL
